I worked in Munich for a summer a couple of years ago. In addition to the Olympic Pool, definitly check out Dantebad. It's very easy to get to as well (U-Bahn to Gern) and cost 3 Euros in 2008. Outdoor 50 Meter pool good for laps. Also, in Berlin, you might want to check out the floating pool on the river. It's pretty cool and might be somewhere that you family can enjoy while you do laps.

If you can find a contact with the Army, try the Andrews barracks pool in Berlin near the Grunewald. It is a relic almost as old as the Olympic pool in a former cadet school, and is very nice (indoors). My Father swam there in 1950 in an Army swim meet. There is also a public (indoor) 50m pool in Schoneberg (can't figure out how to put an umlaut over the o), where I swam in the German Masters long event Nationals in 1986.

If you get to Munich, definitely swim in the 1972 Olympic pool. It is very easy to get to, only about 4E + locker, LCM, and open from like 6am to 11pm. Plus while you're out there, make a stop at BMW Welt. Check my blog postings from last Dec, I swam in the pool a couple of times. In Berlin you also have the Olympic pool (from the 1936 olympics), it is outside. There's also a floating pool on the river, but it sounds more like a party boat.

I've not swum in Germany, but www.swimmersguide.com has served me well for finding pools ex-US.
